Mothers told their children to follow the example of little Rose....but still Rose was not perfectly good; she used, sometimes, though very seldom, to do what she was not told to do; and I will give you an account of one of these sad occasions...

Mine Warfare.
Peking: Foreign Languages Press, 1971.
Oblong 8vo, color-illustrated wrappers, 178 pp. Photos from the film throughout. From the Synopsis at the beginning of the book: ÒMine Warfare is a picture-story book based on the film by the same name. In their daring struggle in the War of Resistance Against Japan, the people of an anti-Japanese base, Chaochia Village in Shantung Province, supported by the Eighth Route Army, made brilliant use of land mines to defeat the Japanese invaders. Led by our great leader Chairman Mao Tsetung and the Chinese Communist Party, the army and people of the base area, men and women, old and young, everyone joined in the fighting, every village fought, to wage people's war. The mobilized Chinese people in their millions devised ingenious fighting methods to Ôcreate a vast sea in which to drown the enemy, create the conditions that...make up for inferiority in arms and other things' as summed up by Chairman Mao, and waged remarkable and heroic struggle against Japanese imperialism.Ó

Ackerman, Kenneth D. The Gold Ring: Jim Fisk, Jay Gould, and Black Friday, 1869.
New York: Dodd, Mead & Company, [1988]. First Edition.
Octovo, cream cloth, gilt letters, 340 pp. Fine (As New) in a like, mylar protected dust jacket. ÔIn the summer of 1869, two young speculators, Jay Gould and Jim Fisk, Jr., undertook perhaps the most ambitious and audacious financial operation in United States history -- the cornering of the national gold supply...Fisk and Gould and their agents manipulated prices to such an extent that legitimate commerce was frozen. When the federal treasury finally broke the corner on Black Friday, September 24, the price of $100 in gold coin fell from $160 to $133 in fifteen minutes, sparking a national financial panic, a stock market depression, and the bankruptcy of some major trading houses...This absorbing drama of greed and gamemanship on Wall Street...presents a unique insight into modern U. S. finance by focusing on a key experience from Wall Street's formative years.'
